Calgary Flames sign Alex Nylander to one-year, two-way contract

Summary

The Calgary Flames have signed Alex Nylander to a one-year, two-way contract following his PTO. Nylander, who had a brief stint with the Buffalo Sabres before being unsuccessful in establishing himself in the NHL, had a strong performance in the AHL last season. He contributed 53 points and 24 goals for the Toronto Marlies, playing a key role in their Calder Cup run. The Flames view Nylander as a potential veteran presence for a young team, should he secure a spot on the roster or with their AHL affiliate, the Calgary Wranglers.
